June 13, 2019
Authorities have lowered the death toll from a massacre in central Mali that has prompted fears of reprisal.
Mali’s government now says 35 people died, not 95, citing the governor’s office in the Mopti region.
Initial figures came from local officials who maintained that dozens of people remain missing in Sobame Da village.
The attack Monday on the ethnic Dogon village, was the latest massacre in a growing ethnic conflict that has been inflamed by fears of Islamic extremism. Tens of thousands of people have fled the violence in recent months.
There has been no claim of responsibility, though tensions have been high since a Dogon militia was accused of carrying out a massacre in an ethnic Peuhl village in March that left at least 157 dead.

In the ex-parte motion, the APC candidate in the poll, sued INEC, the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, and another as respondents.
Aondoaka, while moving the motion on Monday, argued that until the election petition tribunal decides the fate of his client in accordance with Section 149 of the Electoral Act, 2022, the prosecution of Yunusa-Ari cannot be said to be valid.
He said the decision of INEC to file an action against any person involved in Dahiru’s April 15 declaration as winner of the supplementary poll in the state when the tribunal was yet to determine the petition of his client, would deprive her of Section 285(6) of the law which gives 180 days within which the petition filed on May 6 should be dispensed with.
After listening to Andoaka, Justice Okorowo ordered the parties to maintain status quo ante bellum pending the hearing and determination of the matter.

This, the CNS said, was to deny foreign shipping companies from re-introducing war risk insurance premiums on vessels coming to the region.
Gambo spoke at the Headquarters, Naval Doctrine Command at Bonny Camp, Victoria Island on Tuesday evening where he inaugurated the newly refurbished office complexes, the first since its establishment 32-years-ago.
Speaking after unveiling the projects, Gambo said there were speculations that some Gulf of Guinea countries were being reconsidered to be tagged with the War Risk Premium due to recent piracy related incidences.
He said sustained intelligence led round-the-clock patrols would therefore, ensure that criminals trying to spoil the feat achieved by the Nigerian Navy since 2022 which led to the de-listing of the Gulf of Guinea from International Maritime Bureau’s, IMB, piracy high risk
zones, were not allowed a breather.
He explained further that the feat led to the removal of war risk insurance to ships coming to the country, leading to reduction in insurance premiums paid by importers on ships coming to Nigerian-comtrolled waters from 5,000 dollars to about 960 dollars per shipment.

It also decried government’s inability to stop smuggling and said that in neighbouring countries, a litre sells for as much as 500 naira.
IPMAN President Debo Ahmed explained that the exchange rate is always shooting and that with the present situation, they have to review the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL rate because the dollar has gone up,
He also noted that the government was finding it difficult to remove the subsidy it pays on fuel because of its implications for the masses.
Ahmed however argued that since marketers buy petrol between 185 and 190 naira per litre from private depots, it had become impossible for them to sell at the official rate.

The Appeal Court sitting in Kaduna is to communicate to individuals concern through their Counsels, the date it will pass judgement on a case brought before it by Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State on the need for the court to set aside ruling of the governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Katsina where it ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to allow governorship candidate of PDP in Katsina State, Yakubu Lado Danmarke to have access to electoral materials for the purpose of analysis.
It would be recall that the governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Katsina had ordered that the governorship candidate of PDP in the last governorship election in the state, Yakubu Lado Danmarke be allowed access to electoral materials for the purpose of analysis .
That ruling did not go down well with Gov Masari, as he also appealed to the tribunal in Katsina to revisit its early ruling by revising the decision which the tribunal refused.
Governor Masari then approached the appeal court sitting in Kaduna.

The Niger State government has arrested nine persons, including a medical doctor, for being Boko Haram informants. Abdulberqy Ebbo, the director-general of strategic operations, ICT and public enlightenment unit at the Niger State Government House, claimed the men confessed to revealing the movements of troops to Boko Haram fighters.
The medical doctor in custody also confessed of leaking information on troops movements to bandits, Ebbo said.
The governor of the state Sani Bello said on Monday evening that the terror group has hoisted its flag in parts of the state.
He added Boko Haram insurgents have been carrying out a campaign of terror in Nigeria’s northeast for over two decades.
Although Boko Haram insurgents have been largely confined to the northeast, Niger State has been seeing an uptick in the activities of the terror in recent months leading to the abduction of 27 students of Government Science College (GSC) Kagara and 14 others including teachers were abducted when armed bandits attacked their school in February.
To his notice, many people have also being killed or kidnapped in the state by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram fighters.
Bello said at least 50m communities are under the control of the group. He said he feared the group may want to establish a base in the state.
“They’ve taken over the territory, they’ve installed their flag,” Bello said. “I am confirming that now. They’ve taken over the wives of people by force”, he said.
“Boko Haram elements are trying to use these areas as their home just like they did in Sambisa.”
